I believe all of this without even knowing you. When he said "I've got to look out for Jack Eichel" at the season ending press conference, it was obvious he is forcing his way out of here. Who talks like that?

Rickey Henderson.

Ask him, he’ll tell you.

Blew up in his face. If I were GMKA and the Sabres brass I would tell him he isn't playing for this team, nor getting traded, and he is more than welcome to go play in the KHL.

listen to that presser again. he (frank)in said it.

[quote=Jet Jaguar BD]He tried to hurt the team in numerous ways. He kicked the organization in the ballsquote]
I and many here have criticized eichels maturity, leadership, and ability to mentor.
Bashing the organization is just par for the course. Not saying the Sabres don’t deserve to be bashed, but you don’t see the best leaders in the NHL blaming the team when things don’t work. They tend to blame themselves

Well this is news. And I agree with the perceived valuation of Sam. Wish any of us had inside knowledge of the internal NHL market
- TheSabresTaco


Obviously, I like risto's hits and energy when I'm paying to see a last place team play. It's fun. Not always good or winning hockey.

I'm probably going to 30 games this year and arizona/ vegas in January/February. Play a young fast game with new kids and develop some winning attitude.

I've never hid from his boneheaded blunders. I've seen enough for sure.
He seems like a team guy, that likes the area, and helped with the younger guys.
Never heard a bad thing about him.

Lots of bad about the bicycle tandem though.

Turn the page. 👍

I will never not believe the NHL didn't fix the 2015 draft so that Edmonton got their next Gretzky, and the kid from Boston dating a chick from Buffalo got buried in Hockey Heaven.

It was all too convenient.

Right, and to take it further, I would tell him the KHL is his new home.

Let the NHLPA sue. He will waste away while it drags in court. Play hardball.

Really looking forward to seeing how they finish out the rest of the offseason. Adams is sticking to his guns and really seems to know we're he wants to take this team.

It was around 6p, the hosts got real riled up and they accused the caller for working for Pegula. I'll see if I can find it, because it was quite funny.

I'm really excited about the direction. It's important that some of these picks hit, but the intent, the vision, and the growing staff talent, is all coming along. We have no choice but to hope Kevyn is The Guy, but he's revealing that he's putting something together that hasn't really been done here. Darcy had a vision close to this, sans analytics, back in the late 90s and into the early 2000's. Collecting (St.) Drury's is going to be the next big step.

So, I would have to believe that by not being traded (so far), that Jack's ego has to have taken a bit of a hit this weekend.

The Sabres (GMKA) set a bar telling teams that this is what we want and what we have determined Jack is worth on the market. You want him, pay the piper.

Teams have allegedly made offers and apparently low-balled what the Org believes Jack is worth. Injury not withstanding, Jack has elite talent (to go with his elite ego).

Doesn't this just substantiate what the Sabres believe Jack is worth? Or, is this more along the lines of GMKA saying, Sorry Jack, but the logo on the front of jersey is more important than the name on the back of yours?

My feeling... You're under contract, you don't like it, pull a Berglund. Otherwise, strap'em on, pull up your big boy pants, and prove to Buffalo why you deserve that "C".

Arguably the closest competition in the worst org in the cap era race looks to be getting smarter, which, is a problem

Eichel doesn’t care and probly didn’t pay any attention to the draft. A majority of nhl players don’t

That gave me chills, and I live in 'Bama, so that's difficult to do in the summer.

I have no inside knowledge of the scenario, but, and simply for reinforcement, that presser yesterday said "we don't give a poop about you because you don't give a poop about us."

He won't play another game for Buffalo. It's all but guaranteed. It won't stretch into the season and it'll likely be resolved before UFA day. If not, the Sabres will need to eat some real celery.
